Discovery of novel pharmaceuticals from marine and desert microorganisms
About the Project. These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
The impact of soft-fruit phytochemicals on the gut microbiome and bile acid signalling
Applications are invited for this self-funded 36 Month project within the Rowett Institute at the University of Aberdeen. Background. Read more
Machine Learning-Guided Synthetic Strategies for Natural Product Synthesis
A joint PhD studentship is available in the groups of Professor Andrew L. Lawrence (https://lawrence-group.org/) and Dr Emma King-Smith (https://www.kingsmithgroup.com/) at the University of Edinburgh School of Chemistry. Read more
Synthesis and biological potential of benzofuran natural products (Ref: CM/MK-SF2/2025)
Morus, a genus of flowering plant in the family Moraceae (mulberry) is a source of complex benzofuran natural products (moracins) with unique structures. Read more
Pharmacokinetics Guided Natural Products Exploration for Drug Discovery, Development, Delivery and Therapy
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Natural products have emerged as a key standard in novel and safe delivery of anticancer bioactive compounds. Apart from their ease of administration and delivery, natural/phytochemicals still face several hurdles, due to their physiochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. Read more
Simplifying marine polycyclic ether synthesis through symmetry (Ref: CM/MK-SF1/2025)
Marine polycyclic ethers natural products have significant medicinal potential. For example, they have been found to be modulators of brain related disorders due to their neurotoxicity. Read more
Biomimetic Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of the Bisorbicillinoids and Related Products (Ref: CM/BB-SF2/2025)
In this proposal we aim to discover a new way of making complex molecules from simple aromatic starting materials. These complex molecules, known as bisorbicillinoids have previously been found to be extremely challenging to prepare by several research groups. Read more
Synthesis of Artificial blood
Inspired by Nature, we have developed a number of porphyrin containing biomimetic macromolecules. These have included a porphyrin cored polymer capable of reversibly binding oxygen. Read more
Synthesis of Artificial blood
Inspired by Nature, we have developed a number of porphyrin containing biomimetic macromolecules. These have included a porphyrin cored polymer capable of reversibly binding oxygen. As such, these molecules have the potential to be applied as a plastic or artificial blood product. Read more
PhD in Asymmetric Synthesis and developing Lewis base-mediated transformations
Our research is currently directed towards developing catalytic methods for the promotion of a range of synthetic transformations with varying applications in asymmetric synthesis. Read more
PhD Studentship - Process Industries: Net Zero - Decarbonisation of thermal separation processes for removing water and organic solvents from high-performance ingredients
This PhD project is part of the CDT in Process Industries. Net Zero. The successful PhD student will be co-supervised by academics from the Process Intensification Group at Newcastle University. Read more
Biochar-amended soil for resilient agriculture, soil health and climate change mitigation- An Integrated Assessment
Background. Biomass releases greenhouse gas emissions through natural decay or when burnt. Read more
